Galapagos Conservation Trust

Galapagos Conservation Trust (GCT) is the only UK registered charity to focus exclusively on supporting the conservation and sustainability of the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. Famous for their unique biodiversity, this precious place represents hope for the rest of the planet, aiming to set an example of a system with thriving island and ocean biodiversity where humans really can prosper alongside nature. Our programmes respond to major threats to the Islands and the surrounding ocean including tackling pollution, invasive species, unsustainable tourism and overfishing. We take a ‘science to solutions’ approach, ensuring our programmes are based on robust science and result in solutions being implemented. We work in collaboration with an ecosystem of partners, from ‘grassroots to Government’ to ensure conservation solutions are co-designed, accepted, and effective.
